Gogglebox's Marcus and Mica hit by family tragedy and thank fans for support

Gogglebox stars Marcus and Mica Luther have been left devastated following a bereavement within their family. The couple posted on social media to inform their followers and have thanked fans for their support and kind words since the sad news.

Posting on Instagram, she said: "To everyone that has sent love, prayers, concern, well wishes and condolences to our family, on behalf of Marky & I we thank you. I Hope you all have a blessed Day and remember to enjoy each other, blow the dust off them board games, catch some joke, life and memories are so precious."

As Marcus wrote: "As most of you may already know, I have had a bereavement in my family. As a result, the gym will be closed today. Both children and adult sessions are cancelled whilst my family celebrate the life of our loved one."

The beloved pair first appeared on the Channel 4 show back in 2018 and have become a fan favourite ever since, writes The Mirror.

Marcus has explained how he and Mica met but it wasn't always plain sailing. Marcus said at first Mica 'wasn't interested'.

He told Heat magazine : "She was doing this thing called Alpha Course, so I signed up for it, too, but then she tried to set me up with some other girls from the course. She wasn’t interested."

However, Marcus was able to eventually with his humour and their first date was when he visited her at home with a bottle of wine for Bible study.

This comes after Gogglebox Stephen Lustig-Webb has announced he is making a huge change to get rid of the 'Sunday Scaries'.

The star has received support from fans of the show as he revealed his plans to give up alcohol to improve his mental health.
